| Does anyone know much about him? I've seen that Judd Little has a couple nice horses by him, but I was wondering if anyone else had experience with them? What what are the resale value's like on his babies? I also don't know much about his sire's side, Killian Pacific. Would consider him to breed to if I knew more about him! |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Killian Pacific was very well known back in the day, a winner himself who produced a bunch of winners. I had a mare by him that was very talented, but coon footed. I've seen others that were by him or grandbabies that were also coon footed, and have heard he did tend to throw them. Other than that, I don't know anything negative. Flit to Kill has been an underrated producer IMO, but is probably more known in MS than anywhere else. I think Jud's daughter won a bunch at pro rodeos on a FTK mare a few years ago. |

| The fillies can have tempers and they tend to be on the small size from my experience. They make some nice horses once you get through the temper tantrums |

Location: WYOMING | Killian Pacific placed 3rd in the NFR earning over $200,000 in barrel racing during his career. He was AAA and was the 1983 AQHA Sr champion.
I watched his futurity year and eventually bred a mare to him. That baby went on to do great things.
Flit To Kill is my all time favorite sire. I have had about 5/6 of his fillies. They are so athletic and easy to train, naturals. They can be on the edgie nervous side depending on how they are bred on the bottom. I would say they mature a bit too late for futurities but again that depends on the dams side.
Here is the last one I trained.

Location: Weatherford, TX | We have a registered black 4 YO gelding that is out of an Appendix Bully Bullion mare. He is a late baby born on May 2. We bought him as a 2 YO. He is on the tall side at 16H.
He is so personable, athletic, with a great work ethic and has been very easy to train. He is a little more of a 'later bloomer' than other colts we have had. But he has all the ability and speed to make a super nice horse. He definitely gets up, but I wouldn't say nervous. He has a really nice style around the barrels.
With his personality and looks, we get a lot compliments on him all the time. He has a presence about him. He loves to play and interact with people. With other horses, he has to be the leader.
We look forward to showing him this summer and the Fall futurities.

| I've never had one myself, but I'm pretty impressed with him. Been trying to talk my bank account into letting me afford to buy some of his owner's broodmares in foal to him, but the bank account disagrees. haha |

Location: texas | i have a Flit to Kill grand dtr.... Reg name is FLIT AFLAMIN
she is out of Randy Dubose stud Flits First Fling there in MS...
her dam is a dtr of Flaming Jet and ran on the track...
i got my mare as a 4yo, she is currently 9yo and fixing to have her first foal any day now by Streaking Ta Fame...
YES, I agree w above poster, she was a late bloomer and can get on the nervous side....
we have had our ups n downs, but she has been my kids 4H halter, showmanship and all around horse, and placed and acted very well with my little kids....
she is very punchy and an overachiever, whatever u want she does quick and fast, lots of run to her...easy to teach bc she is not lazy
she is protective to of me lol, she wants all the attention when my kids are around.
she is solid sorrel, crazy thick and long tail, probably 14.2
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
we also had a half brother, same stud but he was Some Dasher bred on bottom side, sold him as a 2yo, his confirmation wasnt as good and he was lazy, his reg name was FLITS FIRST DASHER |

| I have an own daughter. She is 6 this year and is one of the smartest horses I have ever ridden. She has been really easy to train and is not hot at all. Really hunts the barrels. |

| I raised 2 fillies by him. The first thing I want to say is that his owners were excellent to work with. Went out of their way to help me get my mares bred when I was new to breeding and didn't have much knowledge. We started both of our fillies, but only had a handful of rides on them before they sold. Both went to the barrel pattern as 3 year olds and were being entered at 4. I've lost touch with them, so I can't say what they're doing now. Both were friendly and sensible. One was out of a Doc O'Lena/BA75 mare, the other out of a Colonel Hotrodder daughter. They were both easy to start, but I would say that the DOL/BA75 was maybe a little more reactive. They were both very responsive and not lazy, which I could maybe see being considered as hot. |

Location: Missouri | I had a mare by him, she was tough and gritty. She was on the small side, but made up for it in attitude. I would own a million more like her, unfortunately I lost her 2 years ago to colic.
I love Pacific Bailey horses though, they are one of my all time favorites. |

She just foaled out her first baby right at 3 months ago, so i am legging her back up for my kids to run.....
*****Personaly, i think my mare should have been a race horse, then turned barrel horse like her daddy Uno... She can flat out fly and loves to run, run, run
The filly she just had is by Streaking Ta Fame |

My mother has always taught me that if you can't say something good about someone or something, then keep your mouth shut. You could have been courteous and have PM'd the lady. Nice to meet you over social media. Thanks |

Location: Mississippi | Hi Julie: Thanks for all the good things you have said thru the years about my Flit To Kill. You have owned many and done well on all of them. He is now 24 so don't know how much longer he will be around. His semen was great this year and shipped well. We hope he will be standing next year to the public. Thanks again.

Location: Downsouth | I love mine. She is 9 and I bought her as a 3 yr old. She is by FTK and o/o an own daughter of Pure D Dash. She is funny, cute, smart, will bug the horns off of a billy goat, doesn't like dogs and will pick up anything that you set down. You have to pry her mouth open to get it... sunglasses, hoof pick, brush, water bottle, phone and anything else she can get.
She was little when I got her(only 14.2 now) so I didn't send her off to be broke until her 4 yr old year. when I sent her to the trainer, she had never had a saddle on. Within two weeks, they were riding her in the pasture checking cows. I do not like to ride young horses so when I dropped her off that day, I told the man if he thought that she was going to be stupid to please call me and I would come pick her up. I didn't hear from him until the first month was up and I was nervous. I was relieved when he finally called. He told me that she didn't have a stupid hair on her body and he wished that he had a barn full just like her. Fast forward five years, she still hasn't done anything stupid. She was started on the pattern as a 5 year old and was a natural. she has never been hot. she will still walk in the gate. She is quick, snappy, feels like a rocket leaving the first barrel, and is smooth. She has been used as a lesson horse and has endured kids camp. I have always considered her bombproof.
I don't know what coon footed is but I know that my mare has great feet. We didn't put shoes on her until two years ago, only on the front, and I don't even think it was necessary then.
I love my little FTK and she and I happen to think that she is 'ALL THAT'!!!

I kind of agree and disagree with the statement of keeping your mouth shut. this isn't gossiping about who is cheating on who. this is buisness and money is involved. If someone knows of a flaw for a stallion either he has it or produces it; I think it is important that others know, so they can make a wise decision. I would expect them to be able to back up the statement with evidence though and not just run a name through the mud.
For example if someone knew that a horse was a PSSM carrier and tell someone who was thinking of breeding the horse It really does the whole industry a disservice. The poster that brought up coon foot wasn't talking about Flit to Kill but rather Killian Pacific and that trait may not even have passed to FTK so not really taken to be bad mouthing FTK IMO. |

Location: Louisiana | The gelding in my profile pic is by Flit to Kill. My sweet T-Bo.
He can be quite a handful sometimes but he absolutely loves running barrels. He's only 14 and I'm having some soundness issues with him, but that could be due to many factors...
He is a little bit on the flighty side, but he is all focus when it's time to run. I always say there could be wild elephants running around the arena and he wouldn't see them, he zeros in on the three barrels and that's it. He's really pretty much auto pilot.
He is my favorite, and probably always will be. Every single morning he is the first one to come in from the pasture, and often "talks" to me on his way. He will stand all day for lovins from his mama. Lol I turn to mush talking about that horse.
He came to me skinny and covered in rain rot 6 years ago this month, and was a diamond in the rough. It only took 2 runs before we won money at a rodeo. He was finished, pretty much seasoned, but had always been on the back burner as the personal horse of a trainer.
He's on allbreed as Flamboyant Flit, his dam is by Easily Smashed. |
